Chapter 1741: Realization of an Old Acquaintance

"I know." Zhao Zhaowei, sitting among the classmates, raised his hand.

"What’s going on?" The others turned to ask Student Zhao.

"He didn’t recognize Xiao Zhe, he recognized Yingying." Zhao Zhaowei said.

Student Xie is known both in their class and at Guoxie and outside of it. However, how could an external teacher recognize Student Xie whom they had never met, without her name being mentioned?

"You’ve guessed in the wrong direction." Zhao Zhaowei told the other boys, "It’s because of Senior Cao."

"Is Senior Cao very familiar with Director Zhai?" Li Qi’an asked.

"I heard from my grandpa last time that Senior Cao’s mentor when studying abroad was arranged by his family. Relying solely on the hospital wouldn’t get him the best teacher abroad. Abroad, techniques are often hidden, not letting you learn them. When I asked further, my grandpa didn’t say more. Because Senior Cao doesn’t like to publicize his family’s affairs. Like me, I also don’t like to mention that I have such a grandpa for the same reason."

The others understood Student Zhao’s hint: "Is Director Zhai related to Senior Cao? But isn’t Director Zhai’s surname Zhai? Is he Dr. Cao’s uncle?"

"No. Senior Cao’s grandmother’s surname is Zhai."

In some families, not all children follow the father’s surname.

Xie Wanying and Geng Yongzhe, listening to their classmates’ chatter, were seriously startled: Did they just meet Senior Cao’s uncle, who recognized them, two juniors, immediately?

"Yingying, you could give Senior Cao a call and ask if Director Zhai is his uncle?" Zhao Zhaowei suddenly had a "naughty" thought, urging Student Xie to make a phone call.

Xie Wanying felt a bit anxious, like a deer lost and panicked.

How did she perform? If the person was indeed Senior Cao’s uncle, would this uncle later talk to Senior Cao about her performance? Why did she suddenly start worrying about this? Perhaps it was because the uncle appeared to be a tech boss, making her nervously ponder the big boss’s evaluation of her tech skills.

"If you’re concerned, Yingying, you can absolutely call Senior Cao. Let Senior Cao comfort you, that might help." Zhao Zhaowei continued to encourage Student Xie to make this call.

The other boys noticed Zhao student’s mischievous intention, considering whether to expose it or not. Senior Cao is different; he is the idol of the boys in their class. Only this idol is worthy of the female top student in their class.

At this moment, Xie Wanying was somewhat at a loss, she looked at Student Geng on site, then gazed at the classmates on the other end of the phone: Is this call truly necessary?

"Go ahead, Yingying." Li Qi’an echoed Student Zhao’s plan.

"Yingying, you could definitely call—" Feng Yicong’s tone was somewhat reserved and ambiguous, afraid something might go wrong.

It’s said that Senior Cao doesn’t let anyone interfere with his emotional matters without his consent, with unprecedented firmness on this issue.

A group of reverent classmates for Senior Cao remained silent about this.

Sitting beside him, Geng Yongzhe discovered himself being directly eyed by Student Xie. The words of the class monitor echoed in his mind: After all, Student Xie is a girl, having fragile aspects like a girl. Just like boys have their own fragile sides. Mutual assistance is necessary.

As he opened his mouth, the gaze of Student Xie made him recall another pair of eyes, once looking at him like that at home.
